X-PERT Health

We help transform people’s lives through diabetes, insulin and weight loss education programmes.

X-PERT programmes are ideal for people who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes or living with prediabetes, have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes (newly diagnosed or established), and anyone overweight or obese looking to lose weight and transform your health. Our education can be accessed via GP Referral, Remote Groups, Digital Apps, Handbooks and Audio Books/Subtitled Videos. Our programmes were co-created with patients to ensure they deliver a powerful, rewarding and enjoyable experience. The audit results have clinically demonstrated that our programmes help people lose weight, improve their HbA1c, reduce medications and place conditions such as prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes into remission. We have been delivering self-care diabetes education since 2008 and delighted to work with so many commissioners and have the opportunity to share our knowledge with so many people.

🏆 Award-Winning Care in Pembrokeshire.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the Pembrokeshire Community Diabetes Team at Hywel Dda Health Board, winners of the “Reaching Underserved Communities” X-PERT Health Audit Award 2025.

This recognition celebrates the team’s outstanding work to redesign diabetes education so it truly meets the needs of people who are often underserved by traditional healthcare models — including ethnic minority groups, travelling communities, and individuals with low health literacy or mistrust of formal health systems.

By delivering culturally sensitive, community-embedded education, the team brought support directly into trusted spaces, including:
🔸Mosque outreach with faith-sensitive messaging
🔸Translated education resources
🔸Community roadshows and early risk assessments
🔸Virtual group programmes to improve access
🔸Strong peer support partnerships with Diabetes UK, Public Health Wales and the National Exercise Referral Scheme

These innovative approaches have led to excellent evaluation scores and improved patient empowerment, with learning now embedded into routine services to improve equity across the system.

👏 A huge congratulations to the Pembrokeshire Community Diabetes Team for leading the way in inclusive, compassionate care.
